COMPLETE PEANUTS HC BOX SET 1999-2000 COMICS STORIES #12

(W) Charles M. Schulz (A) Charles M. Schulz (CA) Charles M. Schulz

While the 50-year run of the Peanuts newspaper strip (1950-2000) is obviously the heart and soul of Charles Schulz's career, he also created a large amount of Peanuts material that didn't run in the strip. This bonus 26th volume collects all of Schulz's non-strip related Peanuts art: storybooks, comic book stories, single-panel gags, advertising art, book illustrations, photographs, and even a recipe. With close to 1,000 Peanuts images included, all created by Schulz himself, no true Peanuts library would be complete without this final, celebratory volume of The Complete Peanuts.
